Phone and Voice Pass-Through
Note: Using the system with the engine off
will drain the battery.
Note: As no common agreement exists, cell
phone manufacturers are able to implement
a variety of profiles in their Bluetooth
devices. Because of this, an incompatibility
can occur between the phone and hands
free system, which in some cases may
significantly degrade the system
performance. To avoid this situation, only
recommended phones should be used. To
check your cell phone's compatibility, refer
to your device's manual or visit the regional
Ford website.
This section describes the functions and
features of the Bluetooth cell phone hands
free system. The Bluetooth cell phone part of the
system provides interaction with the audio
system and your cell phone. It allows you
to use the audio system to make and
receive calls without having to hold your
cell phone.
The Voice Pass-Through allows access to
the voice recognition commands on your
cell phone.
Bluetooth Setup
Note:
Up to five Bluetooth devices can be
paired to the system.
Note: If there is an ongoing call when the
phone in use is selected as the new active
phone, the call is transferred to the vehicle
audio system.
Note: Even if connected to the system, your
phone can still be used in the usual way.
Note: A call will be disconnected if the
audio unit is switched off. If the ignition is
switched off the phone call will remain in

Safety Information WARNING:
Driving while distracted
can result in loss of vehicle control, crash
and injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving. When using SYNC:
•
Do not operate playing devices if the
power cords or cables are broken, split
or damaged. Place cords and cables
out of the way, so they do not interfere
with the operation of pedals, seats,
compartments or safe driving abilities.
• Do not leave playing devices in your
vehicle during extreme conditions as it
could cause them damage. See your
device's manual for further information.
• Do not attempt to service or repair the
system. See an authorized dealer.
Privacy Information
When a cellular phone is connected to
SYNC, the system creates a profile within
your vehicle that is linked to that cellular
phone. This profile is created in order to
offer you more cellular features and to
operate more efficiently. Among other
things, this profile may contain data about
your cellular phone book, text messages
(read and unread), and call history,
including history of calls when your cellular
phone was not connected to the system.
In addition, if you connect a media device,
the system creates and retains an index of
supported media content. The system also
records a short development log of
approximately 10 minutes of all recent
system activity. The log profile and other
system data may be used to improve the
system and help diagnose any problems
that may occur.
The cellular profile, media device index,
and development log will remain in the
vehicle unless you delete them and are
generally accessible only in the vehicle
when the cellular phone or media player
is connected. If you no longer plan to use
the system or the vehicle, we recommend
you perform a Master Reset to erase all
stored information.
